Right now my water softener, located in the basement, discharges into my sump pit then is pumped out to the yard. I want to drain it into the waste line that runs from my kitchen sink to my septic inlet pipe located in the basement.
My idea is to drill and tap, just above horizontal center, the side of the 1 1/2 PCV sink drain line and screw in a threaded to ribbed tubing transition plastic pipe. The point of insertion would be about 6 ft. from kitchen trap and 30 ft. from septic inlet at basement wall. Total 1/2" softener tubing run would be about 25 ft.
My concern is contamination from the kitchen sink so I'm wondering if a inline spring loaded check valve would take care of the that problem. I assume that the check valve would not close until the water pressure was relieved between the softeners drain shutoff valve and the spring tension on the check valve.
Comments and alternative idea's welcome,
Thanks, Gene
